These facts are startling;
they threaten the very life OF
the nation; they assaiD the
springs of its power and pros
perity; they wreck mqnhood's
strength and woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Everyone should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain Chr vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical
strain arising from our mad
race after money, position and
influence; the fears and strug-
lies of poverty. the use Of mar
cotics and stimulants; ourfash-
ion OF turning day into night
and NIGHT into day; and, brief

burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
sufteer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, nervous dyspepsia, as it
is seated IN the nerves and in
the organs Of digestion assiul-
ilation and nutrition. Healthy
being impeded or de-
the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starved;
even when there is no enact
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous prostration sends
ont its warnings headache

dull heavmess OF aching at the
base ofthe brain; waketulress;
loss of appetite and disgust
with food; loss of mental ener-
gy and interest in ordinary
duties and business; restless

bad breath; foulmucous ON the
teeth: occasional giddincss;
papitation Of the heart; sal.
lowness Of the skin coated
tongue and gradual failure OF
strength and ambition.
The remedy is a total ADAM
donment of the habits and Gus

in eachinGyidual case, and the
use OF Shaker Extract of Roots

mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the

Legal Victory for saIoon-Keepers.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Judge McAuister this
morning decided that the city ordinance prohio-
iting the sale of Intoxicating liquor to minors
was void few days ago Oscar Matthia who
keeps a concert saloon was arrested for selling
wine to Linnie St Clair, sixteen year old girl,
who was abducted by young man whom she
had met in concert saloons. Matthia applied for
release under the habeas corpus act The judge
held that the portion OF the ordinance which re-
voked saloon-keeprs license second Of
Tense is unconstitutional. Among the founda-
tions for this opinion is that the general incor.
power to pass such ordinance. The act gives
the Council power to levy fines not to exceed
5000, and imprson the offender not to exceed
six months. Forfeiture of license is neither fine
nor Imprisonment Again. the dram shop act
provides punishment for saloon keepers selling
to minors, except in cases where the minor
brings written request from the parents. The
evidence punished the seller or giver away OF
drink regardless of such request thereby con-
travening the statute. Matthia was discharged
The decision gives great joy to the saloon
keepers.

A terrific rumbling sound was heard about

sleep, only to awake them to the horror of i'm
pending death A heavy black cloud, funnel
shaped, was seen in the distance, and rapidly
approaching. When about mile north of
Fort Washita, it struck the ground. and from
this point south for miles, the work Of ruin
continued. The cyclone Travelled at about the
rate of mile a minute. In an instant from
the time it struck the earth, half the houses
in Fort Washita were in ruins. Light houses
and dwellings were picked up and made into

ranches in the immediate neighborhood suffered
greatly. At Green, a little hamlet six miles
south of Armstrong. the damage very

ritory covered by the storm king were killed or
manned. The damage at this time cannot OF
